This page contains links to the Annual Trachoma Surveillance Reports from 2006 to 2010. The Reports are prepared by the National Trachoma Surveillance and Reporting Unit (NTSRU).

Since 2006, the Department has provided funding for a National Trachoma Surveillance and Reporting Unit (NTSRU), which provides annual reports on active trachoma in Australia.

The Reports contain data from regions identified as potentially ‘at risk’ of experiencing endemic trachoma in the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia. Aboriginal children aged 1 to 14 years old were examined for active trachoma using the World Health Organization’s simplified grading system.
